Espace Jean-Tinguely–Niki-de-Saint-Phalle
Espace Jean-Tinguely–Niki-de-Saint-Phalle, Art museum in Fribourg, Switzerland
The Espace Jean-Tinguely-Niki-de-Saint-Phalle exhibits numerous kinetic sculptures, mechanical artworks, and colorful installations created by both celebrated artists.
The museum building served as the Fribourg tramway depot from 1900 until its transformation into an exhibition space dedicated to these two artists.
The museum displays 22 relief works titled 'Remembering' by Niki de Saint Phalle and the massive 'Retable de l'Abondance occidentale' by Jean Tinguely.
The museum opens Wednesday through Sunday with extended hours on Thursdays, offering guided tours and facilities for visitors with reduced mobility.
The exhibition space maintains rotating temporary displays that connect contemporary Swiss and international artists with the works of Tinguely and Saint Phalle.
